This Saturday we will be picking up bags of food for the food pantry in the Texarkana area. Scouting for Food is a great way to share our abundance with our neighbors much like the Pilgrims and Native Americans did on the first Thanksgiving. I am reminded of something a friend shared with me years ago. She worked in a food pantry and told me the items needed most. The majority of people served by the pantry are senior citizens and families with children. These people cannot afford to buy protein items or items specific for their health needs. Here is a list of things that I am going to look for to fill my bag.
